The
wind and the sun argued one day over which one was the stronger. Spotting
a man man traveling on the road, they sported a challenge to see which
one could remove the coat from the man's back the quickest.
The wind began. He blew strong gusts of air,
so strong that the man could barely walk against them. But the man clutched
his coat tight against him. The wind blew harder and longer, and the
harder the wind blew, the tighter the man held his coat against him. The
wind blew until he was exhausted, but he could not remove the coat from
the man's back.
It was now the sun's turn. He gently sent
his beams upon the traveler. The sun did very little, but quietly shone
upon his head and back until the man became so warm that he took off
his coat and headed for the nearest shade tree.
